Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Provide a safe place for Recoverists to meet,and access aid. We signpost to organizations that help people with drug and alcohol addictions, assisting them on their road to recovery and helping to maintain that recovery. Our primary days of opening are Wednesdays where we provide a welcoming environment with hot food (usually soups) and sandwiches, cakes etc. We offer food from Food-share and other donators plus any hot food remaining to take away. We have a number of both other charitable organizations (housing associations, Bute Advice, adult learning, home energy/warm home etc) and Govt agencies that attend on various Wednesdays and meet with the Recoverists in need. One of the big aims of our charity is the reduction of the stigma involved with addictions. We have a rough split of 40% each drug and alcohol Recoverists (although, often they have can have issues with both drugs and alcohol) with the remaining 20% what we call "social" attendees.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
